Maps Downloaded to PC/tablet

Try copilot. I have it on my phone and aunts tablet

it's also what i started with. before buying an actual unit that got traded in for pcmiler which is made by copilot.

 

I would definitely go with a real GPS unit. The cheap ones that run off data will get you stuck of you're in a boondock. Real GPS uses satellites, not data. Saves time and money.

 

Really, just get a cheaper truckers GPS, to start off with. Then later on grab a more expensive one.
It might be a real hassle having to stop traffic, go off route or miss a turn because you're not going to be able to stare at the tablet the whole time lol.

 

I've said it before, but a good pc based system is MS Streets/Trips. $69 and do the megafile poi download.

 

Yeah Streets and Trips is about the best PC software.

I personally like Google Maps because you can see real life and see street level and signs.

Trucking software isn't 100% reliable. They take standard Navteq routing software and modify it. What have they missed?

 

copilot gps. $3.99. ;can't get any cheaper then that.

it works for trucks. and requires no internet

 

Just maps? I agree with MS Streets as a cheap, but good one for laptops, and CoPilot for Android or Apple (non-truck version if you are keeping the cost low)

So basically I'm backing up both Snowy and Condo depending on what the device is. Your thread says "PC/Tablet." So I am assuming that you mean a Windows-based machine.

 

Since you don't want GPS, you can get MS Streets/Trip for about $35. The $69 is with GPS module (nice backup). The program goes right down to invidual streets in cities/towns. I used to use the non-gps version in a service repair business with very good luck.
